The Young Pis Summer Scholar program's goal is to introduce high
school students to lab techniques and research methods. Over the
course of a week-long summer camp, students will complete labs based
on biomedical sciences, biology, physics, and chemistry. High school
students will be paired with an undergraduate mentor and be able to
discuss research, college life, and how they can best prepare to excel
when they reach the university level.
The camp will also include a
community tour of Grand Rapids based research institutes, exploring
careers based on the exploration of STEM.
Participants will be
engaging in lab activities and must wear long pants and closed toes
shoes. Lab activities will take place Monday - Thursday, 10am-3pm,
with a research poster created on Thursday to be displayed Friday.
Friday they will not be working in the lab but will have a poster
showcase with food provided from 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Padnos Hall of Science and at the Meijer Honors College in Niemeyer.
